CC490 Sunset Sympathy

Hi Again Stampers! 

I am so honored to have been invited to be a Guest Designer for the Splitcoaststampers’ Color Challenge for the month of August :-)

I had so much fun with this week's CC490 Colors that I ended up creating two different cards.   The color combination of Coastal Cabana, Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi and the fact that you can have a flower on the card (but it cannot be the focal image nor can the sentiment be the focal image :-))- these stipulations truly made it a "challenge" for me! 

I hope you will visit the gallery and create a card of your own with this week’s colors!

To create the first card (see next post for the 2^nd card):

Use the 1 3/8” Circle Punch to punch out a circle from a piece of scrap paper and mask the area on a piece of Whisper White cardstock (with the circle cut out).

Use a Sponge Dauber with Daffodil Delight Classic Ink to color in the center of the masked circle, remove the mask and re-mask the “sun” using just the circle portion of the mask.

Create a torn mask for the horizon line (to mimic the mountains).   Keep the circle mask over the sun area and using a Sponge Dauber, apply Coastal Cabana Classic Ink followed by Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink.

 Remove the mask for the mountains and reverse the mask to mask the sponged sky area.

Use a Sponge Dauber with Wild Wasabi Classic Ink to create the mountain /grassy area.

Re-mask to stamp the trees on the horizon (using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink) and a few details using a Sakura .005 Micron Pen.

Trim the panel and mount onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock.  Add the squares of Cherry Cobbler cardstock (allowing the corners to show- these pieces were from my scraps).

Mount a piece of Daffodil Delight Designer Series Paper (Park Lane DSP) to a piece of Basic Black cardstock.  Add the Coastal Cabana cardstock layer at the bottom with a strip of Basic Black cardstock to cover the seam.

Use the Big Shot™ with the Our Daily Bread Designs Edgelit™ to create the lacy border out of Whisper White cardstock.  Mount below the Basic Black band, trim the panel and mount onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock.  

Adhere the entire panel to the Coastal Cabana card base and add the sentiment along with the Cherry Cobbler button to finish off the card.
